Description:
------------
Some classes, like DualIterator are not @ http://php.net

The full list of SPL classes is available here: http://www.php.net/~helly/php/ext/spl/; in my opinion all of them should be documented also on php.net.

The correct link is http://www.php.net/~helly/php/ext/spl/ ofcourse.

I believe every SPL class is at php.net. Many are under-documented, but they are 
there, are are slowly being updated.

And DuelIterator is a user defined (example) class. I wouldn't say it's missing 
from the PHP manual, and wonder if you're aware that this does not exist in PHP. 
Are you simply desiring more examples?

Okay, let me rephrase. If documentation of SPL classes would link to the available example classes, even if the link would be external to the SPL documentation, it would be helpful.

The "example classes" in php-src should probably be made into an Docbook example 
<part> or <chapter>..

It is stupid that users have to got browsing random directories in php-src and/or 
random php.net/~username sites for examples.

Closing this as "Won't Fix". However, some of the classes/ideas may find their way into the docs if they fit well.
